Thanks for the reviews! I love hearing what you think.
Before Jude began to look for Jamie, she knew there was something she needed to do. She needed to find Liam.
When she finally found Jamie, he was sitting at a table, all by himself.
"Jamie, can we talk?" Jude asked.
"I'm not really one for talking right now," Jamie said.
"I know you're not happy. But I didn't wanna get fired. And if I would've done something other than what I was told, I wouldn't have my job. And I wouldn't have been able to get you a meeting with Liam tomorrow," Jude said.
"You did? Thank you Jude!" Jamie said, hugging her.
"You're lucky I love you," Jude said. He pulled away from her.
"I love you too," he said before kissing her.
"Dude, we gotta go," Speed said, interrupting their moment.
"Go where?" Jude asked.
"Start our marathon. If any of expect to get some sleep of any kind tonight, we're gonna have to start now. Darius already said we could leave," Speed said.
"I'll meet you guys over there then," Jamie said.
"I thought this was a band thing," Speed said.
"I thought I managed you," Jamie said.
"Jamie, this is a band thing, I'm sorry. But I'll see you tomorrow. Come over in the morning," Jude said, kissing him bye.
"Your boyfriend's mad," Wally said.
"I know. And I'm like sorry and whatever, but this is Jude and SME time. I need you guys to help me with this and him being there will just be a distraction," Jude said.
"Yeah. And we need to get this over with. So I can sleep," Speed said.
"Speed, I've been up longer than you," Jude said.
"No, I woke you up the other night. Remember, to pull that prank on them?" Speed said.
"Oh, right. Well, I'm just as tired as you are," Jude said.
"I guess. Well let's see how much of this we can watch before one of us passes out," Speed said. When they reached Jude's, they went upstairs to her computer. She changed into some pajamas while the guys just took off their shirts and lay down in their pants.
Jude laid her head on Speed's chest and the rest of her body on Kyle and Wally as they watched their downloaded playlist of Instant Star 2.
"So I leave you alone to let this happen?" Jude heard Jamie ask. She looked up and saw Jamie standing in her doorway, looking at her lying on the half naked guys. Well, half naked guy. They all managed to fall asleep and Jude's body moved off of the rest of the guys'; she was only on Speed's.
"What! Oh crap, I'm sorry Jamie; I didn't know I would end up like this. We all just kinda fell asleep on the floor," Jude said.
"And you ended up in Speed's arms?" Jamie asked.
"She really did, because when we fell asleep she was laying across the three of us," Kyle said, having woken up from the talking.
"Honestly, dude," Speed mumbled.
"Fine whatever. Its just that Jude told me to come over in the morning, and well its morning," Jamie said.
"What time is it?" Jude asked.
"Seven," Jamie said.
The four of them groaned.
"Rule number 1, never call before 12," Speed said.
"Rule number 2, never sleep before 2," Kyle said.
"Rule number 3, never wake up before 1," Wally said.
"Rule number 4, never ever wake up the band," Jude said.
"Well, I didn't know there were 'rules' to this thing," Jamie said.
"Well pull up some floor and go back to sleep with us," Jude said.
"So, this is fun," Jamie said, after a few minutes of silence.
"Mhm," Jude mumbled.
"You guys do this often?" Jamie asked.
"Every night," Jude said.
"And you never found it boring?" Jamie asked.
"Dude, shut up or get out," Speed said. He was not a morning person.
"What?" Jamie asked.
"Seriously. We're tired and you're talking. If you wanna stay, you need to keep quiet," Jude mumbled.
"Fine, I'll leave you guys alone," Jamie said, leaving. Jude and the rest of the guys went back to sleep.
"Jude, we got a meeting at G Major in a bit. We're gonna walk to my house and shower and change. I'll call you when you need to wake up," Speed said a few hours later.
"I don't wanna go," Jude said.
"I'll have ice cream waiting for you if you go," Speed said, knowing that ice cream will get here anywhere.
"What kind?" she asked.
"Chunky Monkey," Speed said.
"I love you!" she said, jumping up off of the floor and into his arms.
"The words I've been longing to hear going to another guy," Jamie said. Jude let go of Speed and saw Jamie standing in her doorway.
"Kyle and Wally let me in," Jamie said.
"He's having ice cream at G Major for me when I get there," Jude said, smiling.
"Nice well, I'm here, you can go," Jamie said.
"Jamie! Don't be so rude," Jude said.
"No, it's cool. I called him and told him that we were leaving, and I don't wanna leave you alone cause you more than likely will not answer your phone, miss the press conference, and get fired," Speed said.
"True, I don't know what I'd do without you guys," Jude said, hugging Speed. She went downstairs and hugged Kyle and Wally before they left.
"What's this all about?" Jamie asked.
"What's what all about?" Jude asked.
"A few months ago, you couldn't even stand to be around that guy. A few months ago, you two would be in a shouting match by now. Now you're sleeping on each other and you're telling him you love him?" Jamie asked.
"Jamie, he's my best friend. You know, like how you're my best friend," Jude said.
"And look at how that turned out," Jamie mumbled.
"You know, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been on a bus with them all summer and I wouldn't be as close to them as I am now. You cannot blame this entirely on me and if you wanna break up with me for something as stupid as me making new friends, then do it. You must not love me as much as you claim you do," Jude said.
"Fine whatever," Jamie said, walking out of her house.
Jude didn't actually think he was going to leave. She did the only thing she could think to do at a time like that. She slumped down onto the floor and cried.
